  1. Hi chaps,

     

    Interesting thread. I like your views Dwight.

     

    I wonder if you knowledgable chaps could weigh in on my case. I am a young lad with advance hair loss (gulp). Easy to think I have no hope.

     

    However I am determined to somehow reverse my hair loss. I don't expect a head of thick, lush hair however I don't want to be slick bald.

     

    The plan is to use my below average donor for 2000 grafts combined with 2000 BHT (beard)

  2. Thanks for your response which is pretty much the same as my thinking.

     

    it is miserable having advanced hair loss at 23. Even though this could be seen as drastic/ last resort measure I think I'm willing to take it.

     

    I hope that my hair loss will begin to stabalise soon. I am on Propecia. It really just has been quite extreme in my early 20s. At least I can predict with some certainty that I will be a NW6/7.You can see from recent photos that the back of the crown is begining to drop which takes me into NW7 territory. I just hope I can maintain high sides..

     

    Anyway, I think I have a decent donor area from beard (and even chest if need be). And the BHT results seem to be decent (better than being slick bald IMO). As I said before, I only intend on maintaing a buzz cut which I'd be quite happy with.

     

    Hopefully 4000 grafts will give me a boost..

  3. So, Dr. Hakan Doganay has suggested 2000 FUE + 2000 BHT (beard).

     

    These 4000 grafts will spread at a low density across the entire balding NW6/7 region. I will need to maintain a buzz cut.

     

    Do you guys think this could work/is a good idea? Bearing in mind I'm 23 and this is my first hair transplant.

     

    I think this is my only option and could improve my look (which I'm currently dissatisfied with).

  4. I have uploaded an album with photos showing hair loss to date. Please take a look. I'm pretty sure I'm heading towards a norwood 6 even though I'm on Propecia and using Rogaine. Hair loss has certainly affected my self esteem. I understand that it is important to consider the long term when planning hair transplants but I want to do something about this now. I am realistic, I know I will never have a full head of thick hair. However I do want to try and achieve full coverage. I'm fine with the buzz cut.

     

    Ideally I would like to try to emulate this result:

     

    Scalp & Beard

     

    I think this is also a good strategy:

  6. Thanks for your response.

     

    I should add that BHT would be used in combination with head hair and it would be beard, nape hair. Also I would only intend on get these grafts placed in the crown area (and possible mid scalp).

     

    You suggest that BHT is best suited for a few specific situations...after the traditional donor supply is exhausted. As a 23 y/d sitting at roughly NW5 I can pre-empt that I will exhaust my donor area...so why not turn to my vast resources of chest, kneck (and maybe chest) hairs.

     

    My hope is to achieve complete coverage with a lower density fue. I want to rebuild the hairline with head hair...to frame my face..but also I want to cover the crown which is currently very thin....not a good look for a man in his young 20s...but HT docs refuse to touch the crown until the 30s and rightly so...that is why I'm thinking about BHT..

     

    once again I am now used to the buzz cut look however I would like a stronger hair line and to cover the crown...

  7. Hi all,

     

    I'm 23 years old and probably sitting at a NW5. I am on meds, but they aren't exactly miracle pills. Realistically it is going to be a struggle to get sufficient coverage with an average donor area.

     

    This is why I ask the question why not try BHT? The results I've seen are cosmetically good (also I'd be content with a buzz cut). I understand that there are some issues about transplanted body hair being rejected? I'd be willing to take that risk as I don't have many other options.

     

    Any thoughts on BHT and particularly about the appropriateness of it for a young man at the higher end of norwood scale would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

  8. Hi all,

     

    Anyone had any experience of Gethair in Istanbul, Turkey? There prices seem to good to be true. Also they don't seem to have any before/after photos on their website.

     

    Thanks,

  9. Hi all,

     

    Another post. Getting SMP procedure done this week. What results can I expect? Attached a photo showing hair loss. Hair is buzzed to roughly #2 here. I know I will need to clipper it a lot shorter. I am willing to go as low as a #0 however do not want to be shaving to the bone. Do I have enough hair to keep some length?

     

    Any feedback would be appreciated.
